Specifically, this research aims to solicit data from humanitarian organizations’ self-reported opinions and usage of social media and related analysis tools, which helps answer the practical question of whether and in what ways organizations’ information behaviour (i.e., communicating on social media, monitoring and assessing information via analysis tools) leads to disaster preparedness and resilience building.Īs a result, findings of this research are useful and relevant to multiple stakeholders involved in disaster preparedness.
The research it is based on follows a technology-in-practice approach, that is, it examines users’ practices enacted in their interaction with technological features and functions (e.g., message broadcasting on Twitter, visual analytical tools on ThinkUp) in different situations. This report aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the implications of social media analysis tools for disaster preparedness, focusing on the Asia Pacific region.

The experiences of this project may be useful for the implementation of gridded databases. The main purpose of the project was to produce a gridded database for the Carpathian region based on homogenized data series. Practically the CARPATCLIM project that was launched in 2010 and ended in 2013 is a good example for this problem. gridding) need homogeneous data series with high quality. On the other hand the spatial interpolation procedures (e.g. Theoretically there is a strong connection between these topics since the homogenization and quality control procedures need spatial statistics and interpolation techniques for spatial comparison of data. The 8th Homogenization Seminar and the 3rd Conference on Spatial Interpolation were organized together considering certain theoretical and practical respects.
